Birthday Pop Up Card with Cheryl Walker

Hello crafty friends and Happy Saturday to you all! Today's Cheery Lynn Pop Up 3-D card is done on the outside and the inside, as I've used 2 of the NEW 3-D pop up dies for this. I also combined some of Cheery Lynn's other dies for my card. I am LOVING these 3-D Pop up Dies that Cheery Lynn Designs came out with, they are super fun to use!

To start with I used the Party! Pop up as the outside of the card. It can be used both on the inside and outside. I then added some of the sweet Pebbles design paper to the PARTY! to coordinate with the card layers. Next I cut out the dress form, oval, and frame all using the coordinating design paper in this line. Each front layer is sewn to give a bit of embellishing. I lastly added a Taffeta Bow to the front.

Cheery Lynn Supplies Used:
Pop Up Party B932
Pop Up Birthday B938
Antique Dress forms B882
Pierced Stacker #2 XL-20
M-7 Oval Classic-sm silver stacker layers 8
Best Glue Ever
Big Sister Die and Emboss machine
Crafters Tools S122

For the inside I used the Happy Birthday Pop Up and just colored it with coordinating colors. Super easy and fun! I should have added sewing to the inside but forgot.

Thank you for stopping by, and please let me know what you thought of my card for today :)
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Happy New Year Hostess Gift idea!

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans, Maggi here. First, I want to wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. I hope 2018 is memorable for you in many good ways! I'm sad to say that this is my farewell post for Cheery Lynn Designs. It has been a wonderful 13 months designing for them and I am so appreciative of the opportunity given me. Thank you so much everyone at Cheery Lynn Designs. I love their dies, they are so imaginative and fun to work with. However, it is time to let someone else enjoy the privilege of being on Cheery Lynn's design team.

Now let's look forward to the New Year celebrations. To to kick off the holiday, I've turned an ordinary bottle of champagne into a fun hostess gift by adding this shaker bottle hanger. I used the New Year 2017 Shaker Die Set to make the shaker. The die has 2017 as part of it's design so I just simply cut that off and glued the included sentiment, Happy New Years, to the acetate on the front of the shaker.

I used a large cut from the Coved Rectangle Stitch And Cut Tool set and placed behind the bottle hanger, using the bottle hanger as the 2nd layer. On top of that I used a black starred layer cut with the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped set. Next is the floral design paper cut with the Pierced Stacker 2 set. All the papers I used are from Graphic 45's Vintage Hollywood collection and the dancing couple is fussy cut from one of the design papers.

The flowers are handmade using a mix of layered cuts from the Judy's Blooms Die, Sweet Williams Die, Indie Bouquet , and Floral Bouquet Kit 8 Piece Die Sets.

To top the hanger and give a real festive look, I added two pretty bows and a floral center.

One thing I really love is a pretty swirly flourish and here I've used Flourish #7 Die.

Let it Snow by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, its JULIE here today. The clocks changed last weekend in Scotland and there is definitely a wintry feel in the air now which inspired me to make my winter scene using the pretty Maja Design papers and some of our vast range of amazing Festive and Winter dies.

I started my card by tattering at the edges two layers of paper and adding a scattering of Frantage for a snowy effect. My rosette styled Snowflower was cut out in glitter card adding Holly, Pine Branches and layering on my cute snowman.

My Let It Snow was drop shadowed and layered onto my Stackers with a little cheesecloth and Frantage for extra detail. I mounted my Dancing Snow Flurries Border around my sign using sections of this Die to form the oval shape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Crafty Hugs,

Julie x

Bats and Ghouls by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi fellow crafters, it's JULIE here today and I'm sharing some Halloween inspiration with my spooky card. I always have great fun at this time of the year creating cards with scenes on them.

For this card I decided to make my own inky background using Distress Inks and mounted it onto white cardstock.

My spiders web was drop shadowed adding another inky layer on top with my sentiment which compliments the Twisted Tree Die so well. Finishing this area with a couple of scary ghouls.

My skeleton I cut his legs off and then placed all the parts behind the gravestone in a fun abstract way.

My Twisted Tree I decided to lay on its side to look like a spooky branch also adding a drop shadow to it. I then added my crow and attached my bats on to the branch by drawing a line with a fineliner pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you feel inspired to create a fun Halloween card.

Crafty Hugs,

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, its JULIE here today and I'm sharing some more inspiration using the fabulous new Vintage Dies.

My card has lots of layers using coordinating papers from Pion Design. I started by Die cutting my layers and adding Gilding Wax around the edges. This was to compliment my Gilded Birdcage and to give an opulent feel to my card.

You will also notice my diecut corners have had Gilding Wax rubbed all over them.

The corner of my paper was placed into my Die and cut to give a curved edge and I fussy cut around the bird and foliage, mounting in place with some Silicone Glue and a touch of Cheesecloth.

My centre layers I layered in place with foam tape for added dimension, adding some sweet birds onto my Birdcage for extra detail.

Finishing with a pretty Floral bouquet, some die cut feathers and bling.

Wishing you a lovely week.

Happy Crafting,

Julie x

Baby Card with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Graphic 45's Precious Memories collection is so perfect for making baby cards along with Cheery Lynn's Baby Pram die. Take a look at that sweet Baby Pram, isn't that just the most perfect die for a baby card? It's part of the new vintage die release from Cheery Lynn Designs. I've layered it over the Distressed Honeycomb die, which is also part of the vintage release.

This is a step card, here you can see how it stands on its own. I made cherry blossoms to gussy up my card. They are easy to make, just a couple layers and a pearl center. Ink the edges and center to make the flowers more realistic.

I stamped a sentiment onto the Pierced Stacker . I also used the Pierced Stacker in a larger size behind the pram diecut.

When I make step cards I always like to have my diecuts extending beyond the card's edge. I used the Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stackers to cut a large frame and layered that at the bottom allowing it to extend over the top of the card.

Happy Day card with Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Wishing you a very happy day with this vintage styled card using Prima's Vintage Emporium 6 x 6 paper pad. I used a lacy patterned print page on the bottom and then layered and stacked different diecuts to make my card.

From the bottom, the first layer is the Royal Scandinavian Boutique Stacker, next a Celtic Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frame, then Coved Rectangle Stitch And Cut Tool, the Oval Frame Die and finally the sentiment is stamped onto a small Pierced Stacker Die. Then I topped those layers with Manon's Wedding Garland Die and flowers from the same die set along with small flowers from the Floral Bouquet Kit. To finish it off, I glued the layers to a brown cardstock card leaving a brown edge all around the card.

In this photo you can see the dimension that is created by popping up some of the layers and the dimension of the flowers that is created by giving each of the petals a twist.

A tag for the girls by Maggi

Maggi 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Today I have a tag for you that I think would be perfect to add to a bottle of wine and gift to a girlfriend that needs a little cheering up. I love the sentiment that comes from Graphic 45's new Portrait of a Lady collection.

I've used some dies from the new release of Cheery Lynn Designs Bohemian Dies. Down the center I've used the Indie Border Die from the Bohemian collection. I love how the design paper underneath peeks through the cut outs.

I added several layers in the center starting with Nesting Doll- Circles #2. That makes a really great background for the Mandala Doily 2 layer, also from the Bohemian collection. The sentiment was diecut from design paper with a die from the Pierced Stacker 2 6 Piece Die Set.

Of course the tag has to be finished off with some flowers! The large flower was made with the Floral Bouquet Kit 8 Piece Die Set. The other flowers are roses made with the medium and large rose die sets. A seam binding bow at the top and a organza trim around the edges are the perfect finishing accents for this feminine tag.

Lady Steampunk by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I do hope you are having a lovely weekend preparing for the forthcoming Festivities. I thought it would be nice to share a card using the fantastic Steampunk dies that Cheery Lynn make. I love the versatility of these dies and have fun making them look grungy, masculine or giving them a feminine shabby look. So let me take you through the details on my card.

My Steampunk corners, cogs and butterfly wings were all heat embossed with Frantage powders, tucking accents of cogs behind my paper layers with touches of lace and cheesecloth.

My corset was mounted onto patterned paper and trimmed around the edges. I repeated this process cutting out the bust area only and glued in place on top of the corset with silicone glue to add dimension. The belt was made using the Hinges die adding a little thread. I finished my corset with lace edges and some bling then mounted onto my Butterfly.

My roses and leaves were cut in coordinating paper to compliment the roses on my paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to make a Steampunk card or layout. Good luck to everyone entering our Bi-Weekly Challenge .

Crafty Hugs,

Christmas Gift Tags with Cheryl Walker

Cheryl Walker 1:30 AM 4 Comments

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all! Today I have a couple of tags to share with you. I have been busy trying to create tags to put on our gifts this year, and Cheery Lynn Dies work Perfectly for this :) I LOVE the BIG dies I used here, and the beautiful shape. I will be writing on the back of these To: and From: , I could have stamped that, but hey I will just write :) hehehehe

Tags measures -5" x 3 3/4"

I LOVED using this Cheery Lynn Poinsettia Strip to create the Poinsettias on both tags. This strip makes cutting super easy, as the strip has enough to create 3 flowers in one single run through your die cut machine, gotta LOVE that! On these flowers, I used a gingham print design paper and my glass flower technique. Love how the flowers turn out and how they stay so perfect. In the centers I used some gems.

Now on this tag I used the Poinsettia die cutting out a different pattern paper almost makes them look like candy cane :) hehehehe

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:

Tag base was cut using Cheery Lynn Designs Pierced Stacker #2 XL-20 die

Also used Cheery Lynn's Oval Classic SM Silver Stacker Layers 8 for the ovals on my tags

Cheery Lynn B324 Poinsettia Strip (LOVE this die)

Cheery Lynn Christmas Bell B846 die for the Holly Leaves and branches

Cheery Lynn Quadrafoil Tag B682

I am actually going to use these for all the large quilts I am making for Christmas gifts this year. Ha! I just learned how to quilt, and I am on my 4th one. I think these would be perfect for large gifts :) but I will be writing a little note on the back and tie it to the quilt on the inside of the package . Might have to make some smaller ones for the top of the gift :) or some that are this size, not sure yet :) we shall see!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, please do leave a comment letting me know what you think of my tags :)
Have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
